From the Boston Globe:

Sister Eustace Caggiano, at 102;

the ‘Saint of the South End’

As a Sister of St. Joseph of Boston, Sister Eustace lived the words of our Constitution: ”We strive in every aspect of our lives to be for others a visible sign of God’s presence and active love. We engage in spiritual and corporal works of mercy so that justice and peace, freedom and human dignity may prevail.”

A wonderful article in the October 1, 2015, Boston Globe begins: “I am just doing God’s work,” Sister Eustace Caggiano would say as she gathered groceries for an immigrant family or found fresh clothes for a homeless man.

a little bit about me…

I am a Sister of St. Joseph [CSJ]. We are a Roman Catholic religious community of women. We are ordinary women from all walks of life. Our special focus, our mission, is to work for unity and reconciliation where there is brokenness, to help people become whole and holy, individually and together. I work as Director of Communication for the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston. There are over 12,000 Sisters of St. Joseph and about 5,000 Associates all over the world. My Boston congregation is one of 16 congregations of Sisters of St. Joseph in the United States. The picture at the top is a view of Le Puy, France, where our community was founded over 360 years ago. It was taken on Easter Sunday, 2005, during a visit to the CSSJ International Centre in Le Puy.
